In the Apple world, you have folks where money isn't a big deal
and they want the best and fastest stuff out there. You also have
some users, usually professionals, that actually need the
horsepower. And you have a lot of hangers-on that don't have a
lot of money, look at used systems before new systems and don't
generally have the ability to buy something for now and then buy
something else for later on when the technology is there. Those
are the folks that will wait because they can't really afford to
buy obsolete technology.
